Lactation consultation
Lactation consultation
I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC: L-42869). Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world and gives your baby the best possible start in life. It protects a baby from illness most evident during the first 6 months of life, but remains effective as long as the child is feeding and beyond. It is however a learning process and requires time, patience and knowledge.
As a qualified Lactation Consultant I can help you with any problems you may encounter in your breastfeeding journey.
Problems may include:
- Not knowing how to latch your baby onto the breast.
- Baby is not drinking in an efficient manner.
- Baby is not growing adequately.
- Baby is too sleepy to feed or is falling asleep at the breast.
- Baby is crying excessively.
- Stress due to birth trauma .
- Mothers without family support.
- Pain when latching on or feeding your baby.
- Too little milk.
- Too much milk.
- Blocked milk ducts.
- Painful or hard, swollen breasts.
- Tongue or lip tie diagnosis.
- Medical problems.
- Whenever a listening ear is needed.
